I call these types of prayers, "negative comparison prayers" because they express gratitude by contrasting one's situation with the suffering or death of others.
It promotes a transactional view of God. It may reinforce the idea that if you're alive, God loves you more, or if someone died, they somehow received less favor. Christianity does not teach this.
It can lack compassion. Imagine a family that lost a loved one reading that message. While they also thanked God throughout July, they are now grieving.
It makes another person's tragedy the basis of your gratitude. Gratitude is healthiest when it is focused on God's goodness, not on someone else's misfortune.
It unintentionally implies God favored some people over others. Saying, "Thank God you're alive because others are in the mortuary," can suggest that God deliberately chose to preserve one person while abandoning another.
What Does It Take To Make The Power Of God Active And Visible:
1. There must be the hearing of faith (Galatians 3:2)
2. You must build expectation (Acts 3: 4-5, Mark 11:24)
3. You must take actions of obedience (Exodus 14:14-18, 21-22)

Pray: Father, every prophetic word that has been spoken over me but has not yet manifested, may the grace of God that brings prophecies to life rest upon me. May those words find expression in my life and destiny in the name of Jesus Christ!

Gents, in the beginning of a relationship, a woman will treat you how she wants to be treated then she will treat you how you treat her.
If you don’t like how she’s acting, look at how you’re treating her…
Apart from the beautiful ministrations by Min Sunmi, the weightiness of this hymn is something else. Still one of the most powerful hymns ever written📌.
Just take your time to digest the lyrics. 🥹
For people praying against delay, I hope you remember to add one of the anchor scriptures from the last Hallelujah Challenge:
“For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay.”
Hebrews 10:37 AMP
And just like that
